World Of Hempy

A couple of weeks back we had a minor windstorm that knocked out the power for a while. The outage lasted until four hours past the time for the lights to come on...anyway, when the power came back on I checked the plants, and my Selene plant had some blobs...clear, and on the fan leaves, not on the buds. It wasn't water, it was a little sticky...no real taste. They evaporated after a few hours and I haven't seen them again.

Just when you think you have a handle on things, our favorite plant will surprise you...

I was going to make the same comment earlier. ... about the girls showing surprises, even though they are clones.

I haven't checked my other ones but so far that was the only one with resin. .. On a previous run. I* found a single failed seed-husk on a plant. Never seen anything like it again. and this is all with the same genes. .... I guess that over dozens and dozens of clones that these little surprises DO show up, especially if there is a stress to the environment.

I have seen clear fluid before (other strains) on leaf and just assumed it was transpiration.

Well i do know its strain speciffic cause i have only seen it in the mendo

So if you say that 'mendo' was a top strain or specimen that's quite interesting.

The examples of Sap (I'm calling it Canna syrup ) ive now seen online seem to happen on quality strains.

Hey everyone, I went shopping today and plan a nice weekend of gardening. I got 2 nice Yellow Delicious trees for my orchard, they can pollinate my other Apple trees...So that makes 4 apples in my Orchard, along with Plum, 2 Peach, 2 Pear, Still looking for more Cherry, mine died in the drought last year.

I working on setting up my scrog, how do I know how tall to make it?

A SCROGGER will soon pass by no doubt.

I have a dwarf cherry tree that I bought from QVC 2 years ago. The dude on the show said it was 'self-fertile'. ... He lied. ... the thing has'nt shown so much as a cherry pip. ... if it doesnt produce this summer I'm going to swap it for a Japanese Maple because I only have a small garden.

Get a crab apple tree, good color and good pollinator, can pollinate almost any other fruit. Oh and U can bonsai them too.

The higher the screen the longer you have to veg so shorter is always better, It is all really a matter of personal preference but i would go with about 6-8 inches from the top of the plant container, just make sure you have enough room under the screen to maintain your plant when you need to...

Thank you Psilo, I'm trying it for the first time and I just took my plants out of veg and started LST, so I'm ready to set it up and try it out.

As psilo said the higher you set your screen the longer you will have to veg. You want to leave yourself just enough room to reach under the screen to reposition branches and cut out the undergrowth after flower stretch. I shoot for 5-7 inches above my bucket, I wouldn't go any higher than 1 foot.

Thanks Stoneslacker, I put is 6 inches for now...if I need to lift it up i can, and all I do is just keep the branches under the screen without attaching them?

I am thinking of flowering my mothers for my next flowering cycle.
They have gotten too big. I will take clones and restart a new bonsai
for each mother.

The problem is that they are already 2' tall easily. If I had room to
train them where they are, then I would, but they are crammed
together, under

I think that I will tie them down to expose them better, but will have
to try a SCROG later.

Hey guys,

i have been in love with the idea of hempy since I saw a 2l grow with blue planet on another board. But I am still a newb so I am cutting my teeth with soil right now.

My question is is, can you use the foxfarm soil trio for hempy, or do you need th hydro version? I'd like to experiment but I do not want to run out and get new nutes at the moment.

DB

PS. Sorry if this has been asked and answered 100 times, but I honestly couldn't find the answer here

The basic idea is that you want 1 node or branch per 2x2 inch square hole in the screen i believe.

Hi DB,

You should be fine with your soil mix. ... You don't want the res to become bunged up with soil though; so you'll need a filler that will allow the res to still hold liquid; Hydroton, Perlite or Rockwool are common choices.

Also, a bit of perlite in the soil mix will help with drainage, allow for faster watering and minimize soil compaction.

My new Trimpro "Unplugged".....will let you know how it works....I'll always hand trim the the big buds. It's those 1500 little golf ball sized buds that can take me a whole weekend and sometimes Monday too.

Hi möbius, thanks for the reply.


So are you saying that I could plant a seed in soil, on top of say 4inches or perlite and drill the whole about 2in from the bottom as a res, and that way I could use my soil based nutes?

sorry if I am being dense, I should leave the to the buds.

Yes you can start your seed or clone in soil, and you can transplant the soil core at any point into a hempy bucket. Go to post #95 on page 10 I've detailed the process there, you don't have to use the nutes I'm detailing.

Tell us what you are using for nutes in your soil now. In most cases the soil ferts will work in a hempy. I've not tried but have seen some problems with using pure organic ferts. But once you take your soil core and put it in a bucket, you will have to treat it as a hydro grow. ph close to 6, and in most cases it's good to have some cal-mag on hand.

I also recommend if using a soil core of that's bigger than a quart in perlite to top off the bucket with an 1 1/2" to 2" soil cap.

As Watt said.

btw, nice touch with the diaeresis above the "o"

Jela u actually bought one?

I can only wish i had a garden big enough to justify buying a trimmer like that my god do i despise pop corn bud lol, im hoping this time around i wont have so much of it...

I deal with popcorn bud by not dealing with it. I pinch off all the lower growing shoots that would result in popcorn during the first week of flowering. I leave the fan leaves on for a while, until the canopy fills in and shades them.

Take a look at the plants in front, kind of a bad angle, but you'll see what I mean.




The result is big fat colas up where the sun shines, and the plant doesn't waste effort trying to fill out the popcorn. And I don't have to sit there slowly losing what's left of my mind trimming little bitty popcorn buds when I could be doing something productive...like drinking single malt Scotch, for example.

Yeah, it's a little work, but not nearly as much as all that trimming...
